LJ Martin's 222 Yards Drive No. 11 BYU Past Cincinnati 26-14 to Stay on Big 12 Title Track

A home win over UCF next week would clinch the Cougars' berth in Arlington.

Overview

  • Martin carried 32 times for a career-best 222 yards with two touchdowns, spearheading 265 team rushing yards and a ball-control approach.
  • Freshman quarterback Bear Bachmeier added 46 rushing yards and a short touchdown as BYU finished with 392 total yards.
  • BYU’s defense delivered a Tanner Wall interception, a fourth-and-1 stop near the goal line, and a late fumble recovery to halt Cincinnati drives.
  • Cincinnati missed all three field-goal attempts from 40 to 48 yards and came up empty on multiple red-zone trips.
  • BYU improved to 10-1 (7-1 Big 12) while Cincinnati fell to 7-4 with a third straight loss during a nationally spotlighted day that featured FOX’s Big Noon Kickoff.
